Baltimore County police identified the officer who exchanged gunfire with a Parkville man while responding to a domestic call Saturday night.

The department on Tuesday identified him as Officer Rogers, an 18-year veteran of the Baltimore County Police Department, who is assigned to the Support Operations Division. A police union agreement prevents Baltimore County from providing officers' first names.

Police were called at 10:45 p.m. June 7 to a home in the 2900 block of Manns Ave. by a woman who said her husband was suicidal.

When officers arrived, they were confronted by 39-year-old Michael Tindall Jr. who was armed with a handgun and refused to drop the gun, police said.

Tindall and Rogers fired, and Tindall was struck, police said. He remains hospitalized. The officer was not injured.
